We all want to take better pictures. Whether you're shooting with an iPhone 4 or with a state-of-the-art DSLR, there's always room for improvement. Some of Your Take's top contributors recently shared their tips for taking better photos.

Wayne Cragg: "Here's a tip: It's not the camera. A good or great camera sure does help. It's about how you see the pic you want to take. How YOU envision it to be -- not your smart camera. Everyone is a photographer now with the digital age. So get outside, enjoy the day and remember when you're snapping pics, it's about you still, not the camera."

Bob Rejefski: "Years ago I subscribed to Digital Photography magazine. If you want to be better, one expert said, look at as many good photos as you can. Like on Your Take. And don't just glance it them. Try to figure out what you like about them."

Lee Anne Kelly: "I learned most of my tips from Emil Pakarklis from iPhone Photography School Facebook page. I also get my inspiration from Your Take, Instagram, VSCOcam, and EyeEm's contributors. For me, I always try to take one picture a day. The most important thing is to have fun and use your imagination when taking your photos."
